Head doctor of Real Madrid, Niko Mihic has been removed from the first team by the leaders of the Merengues. In question, in particular, the management of the Arda Güler case.

There is a scent of crisis within Real Madrid, with internal turmoil. According to Marca and AS, the White House has sidelined Niko Mihic, until now responsible for the club’s medical services, who will no longer take care of the first team.

The trigger would be the new injury of the nugget Arda Güler. The young Turk injured his knee this summer, and the medical staff delayed before deciding whether to operate on him or not. And the former Fenerbahçe player recently suffered a muscle problem, which will postpone his big debut with Real by a month.

“But Güler’s case is not the only one to have caused the departure of the Croatian doctor, explains Marca. Last year there were numerous relapses from several players. The cases of Benzema, Alaba and Ceballos, with physical problems in the same areas, had already caused several frictions between the players and the medical services, frictions which had reached the highest levels of the club. »

In office since 2017, Mihic had nevertheless been praised for his work, alongside physical trainer Antonio Pintus, who allowed Real Madrid to shine in recent seasons. But the end is approaching for the Croatian. “Mihic is now suffering from the wear and tear of having been in charge of the club’s medical services for so long”explains AS.
